NEW York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen; PREVENTION of shootings (Crime); SHOOTINGS (Crime); INSTITUTIONAL racism; RACIAL inequality

The Supreme Court's decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen undermines the ability of cities and states to regulate firearms safety. Nonetheless, we remain hopeful that firearm violence can decline even after the Bruen decision. Several promising public health approaches have gained broader adoption in recent years. This essay examines the key drivers of community firearm violence and reviews promising strategies to reverse those conditions, including community violence intervention (CVI) programs and place-based and structural interventions.
